At the "Two Sessions," I Trade a "Hat" for a Story
Liu Lei has pushed for policy funding, digital preservation, and cultural tourism to safeguard Hezhe language and traditions, with over 5,000 people in the ethnic group, officials said.
- At this year's Two Sessions, Liu Lei, deputy to the 14th National People's Congress, highlighted Hezhe culture by wearing traditional attire and accepting a handmade Perler bead hat, pressing for support.
- The Hezhe people, with a population of just over 5,000, live in remote regions without a written script, prompting efforts to preserve Yimakan storytelling, officially recognized by UNESCO last year.

- This year, the Songhua River will soon begin its spring thaw, and Liu Lei, who became the only Hezhe NPC deputy in 2008, continues to promote Hezhe cultural events.
